Why Men Get Bald.

~ have heard nearly as many ex-
plantations Of badness is | have seen
bald-headed men, and that's a good
many" said a downtown barber the
other day, "but | never heard one that
gave the true cause. Some people say
it's dissipation, cutting the hair too
short, letting it grow too long, smoking
too strong cigars. smoking pipe,
smoking cigarettes, drinking strong
coffee, drinking bad whisky, wearing
high hats, wearing low hats, wearing II
hat in the house, not wearing n hat
out of doors, worrying, late hours, and
early piety,
Now did you ever notice what
classes Of men are most commonly
bald? That throws a deal of light on
the cause of badness. | have found
that rs rule retail statesmen, book
keepers, and some office clerks are more
often bald than any other class of men.
Why? Because they habitually stand
or sit nearly every evening under a
gas light.
"Bookkeepers always have a strong
light over their heads. So do clerks
who have to work at night. Retail
statesmen sell goods under powerful
burners that are most of the time di-
rectly over their heads. The artificial
heat dries out the hair, makes it brittle
and unhealthy. and finally kills it at
the root. That's how the people get
bald. If YOU will pass your hand
through your hair after YOU have been
standing under the Gas light for few
moments, You will see at once how it is.
Although You may not have noticed
the heat, your hair. if you've got any.
will be fairly hot to the roots You'll
be surprised TO notice, too, at what a
distance from the light the heat will
take effect Now there's nothing in
the world that is SO bad for the nair as
getting it dry. 1t should be moist all
the time, and with the oil that is natur-
| ally secreted by the little cells at the
roots. When this oil is continually
and rapidly evaporated, as it is when
the head is kept heated by the gas
light, the cell dries up and the hair falls
out.
There won't be nearly so much
badness in the world after two or
three generations have used the electric
| light exclusively. People who sit I'M
der gaslight should wear some kind of
n non-conducting head gear to protect
themselves--N I. Com. advertiser.

A merchant of Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, saw a newsboy peering down
into the sidewalk in front of his store
one afternoon recently, and learning
that the little chap had dropped n
quarter into the place, and was study
ing on the best method of recovering
his wealth, sent one of his clerks down
into the cellar, recovered the coin, and
coolly put it into his till.
The other day Professor James G..
May, of Salem, Indiana, concluded
that he had taught long enough, and
closed his school. He chose as the
day the fifty-eighth anniversary of his
marriage. He had been teaching for
sixty-five years, having spent 1912
days in the schOol-rOOm, and still, at
the age of eighty-two, was an ener-
getic and successful teacher.
A six-year old boy in Gait, Canada,

Half of the bullet which killed Lord
Nelson is now in the possession of
Capt. John II. Burton, of Hamden,
Conn. He tells the story thus: John
Hepburn, granduncle of Capt. Burton,
and after whom he was named, was
sailing master of Victory, Nelson's
flagship. After Nelson was wounded
he was removed to the cockpit of his
vessel. and the surgeon, after extract
ing the bullet, cut it into two pieces,
and gave one to Capt Hardy. of the
Victory, and the other to Sailing-MaS-
ter Hepburn. The latter gentleman
served in a similar capacity on a num-
Der of vessels, and once, while on the
Turkish coast, he had native artist of
Turkey construct an ivory case in
which it has been safely kept ever
since. Nh. Hepburn was afterward
placed in charge of the Portsmouth
dock-yard in England. He lived to an

Language of the Commercial World.
A German contemporary wonders

A German contemporary wonders
why the English commercial world
uses so barbarous a phrase as ''per
annum." The practical English, 1t
observes, are crying out for the Danish
ment of the Latin language from the
schools to which they send their sons
for a mercantile education; nevertheless
they inconsistency persist in retaining
Latin in their own daily counting
house language. A correspondent of
the same Journal remarks that the Ger
man man of business is equally servlle
70 "the traditional Latinisms of the shop
and the exchange. Why, for instance,
does he always write per April 1 when
he means 'on the 1st of April, or for
the first of April?' His Latin is in
correct, moreover. The proposition
per has not the force of 'on' or for. ;
He ought to write pro instead of per.
A third person has interviewed in the
controversy, who asserts that the
technical language of accountants and
bookkeepers- though they are not aware
of it's not Latin, but Italian. The
Italians have only the one proposition
per to do the duty belonging to the two
Latin propositions per and pro. The
use of 50 many Italian words and
phrases in the bookkeeping of other
European peoples, and now in that of
Americans also, is a survival of the
epoch in which the Italians were the
foremost commercial people in the
world. Bankrupt and solvent, as
well as per cent have got into the
talk of men 'on Change not from the
classical Latin, but from the mercan-
tile Italian The delusion that we owe
these mercantile terms to the Latin led
our English bookkeepers, at some time
or other, to substitute per annum' for
per ammo, which was the correct and
older phrase. We owe our use of this
phraseology to a period in which Lom-
bards really lived and traded in 'Lom-
bard street. '"-PuH JEQU Gazette.

Rough Work In the Army.

I served through the war in the 9th
Ohio cavalry, beginning at Shiloh and
ending nv service with the march to
the sea, says writer in the Scient!fc
american. We were an active regl-
ment, always at the front and therefore
remarkably unincumbered with tents
or comforts. We were exposed to all
weathers and all seasons. Many
time we were rained on for week or
more. When the sun came out the next
week or the week after, it dried u.s.
Many time, long after dark, after
march in rain and mud all day, we
have been filed into miry woods, where
we slept in the rain. with the run
ming water washing between us and
our blankets. | have seen men wake
in the morning with their hair frozen
in mud. But none of us caught colo.
We swan the Tennessee river after MD
night, when the mercury was at Zero
and among floating ice, and came OUT
with our clothes, to our armpits, frozen
like sheet iron, and then marched till
morning. In the cold winter of 1865
81 we were in the mountainous country
of East Tennessee, where it was as cold
as Ohio. We were there from Noyem-
Der until March, without any tents or
shelter of any kind, moving every day
and sleeping in a different place every
night, with the temperature frequently
below zero.
l have, with my comrades, ridden
upon the skirmish line when | could
not lift a cartridge out of my box nor
even pick up carbine cap. L have
been on night picket, mounted, when
the pickets had to be relieved every
fifteen minutes, because if left longer
the men could not load and fire. But
we never caught the slightest cold, nor
did I ever in times of cold and exposure
to wet see soldier with a cold.
But l did catch one cold in the army,
and | never had such one before or
since. 1t came from excessive comfort,
or what seemed comfort to us. We
were at Camp DaXies, Miss, the south
ern outpost Of the great fortress OF
COrinth. Having been there some
months we began to build neat log
cabins, with openings for doors and
windows-no glass OF doors of course.
One of our mess being young
bricklayer we thought to surpass our
neighbors in style and comfort, and
we sent for brick, and he built Il large
chimney and fireplace, and we built
GOOD fire That settled us.
Four of us had to 60 to the hospital
with tremendous colds on our chests
and in our heads. We never had such
colds in our lives. This was about the
middle of our three years service, and
before and after that l never saw an
exposed soldier with a cold. cor course
few days after our cabins were finished
we got marching orders.) | believe
all old soldiers will bear me out that
in active campaigns, where there was
great exposure to the weather, no one
had a cold And come to think of it,
in my experience in Colorado and Utah
in recent years, | never saw an Indian
with cold, though they stand more
exposure than our cattle do. 1t is our
hot rooms that give us colds. If
person would camp out from fall to
spring, exposed to the weather OF a
severe winter, he would never take
either cold, pleurisy, or pneumonia,
and would be absolutely free from
them. But when you are in Rome YOU
must do as Romans do, and take warm
rooms and colds.

How His Hair Became White.

young man to have white hair?
Yes, that's SO. I'm just turning forty,
which is too young to have it so natur-
ally. How did it happen? Well, l
don't mind telling you, although the
experience was painful one to me and
always makes me shudder when think
of it.
81 was in Boston when Twas young
man-that was about twenty-and l
wanted to call upon friend of mine
who had an office in one of the Wash
ington street blocks. 1t was about six
stories high, and 1 found that the
room | had to visit was in the fourth
story.
81 stepped into the elevator, which,
by the way, was not provided with so
many improvements and safeguards as
at present. A gentleman got on to go
up and | followed him. He dexter
Ously started the thing and soon stopped
it one story higher and stepped out,
leaving me all alone.
81 gave slight pull. 1t did not
stop; pulled again still harder, but
the.speed only seemed to increase. l
was now just past the fourth floor and
rapidly nearing the fifth. l pulled
again, but still the thing kept on.
Il could hear the Ominous rumbling
of the machinery overhead. Would
the thing never stop, thought, or was
to be hurled to death or crushed to
nothing by the deadly cogs overhead?
"Past the sixth floor | went, and it
commenced to grow darker. The ma
chinery sounded louder, and / could
almost see it from the light that strug-
gled through the dingy loft window.
l tried to cry out, but my voice failed
me.
81 determined to make one more
effort, and accordingly reached out in
the dark. | encountered wire, and
yanked it,with force enough, it would
seem, to break it. Still upwards l
CROPPED further, and found another, and
this time with both hands | pulled for
dear life.
Thank heaven, the elevator ceased
its upward motion, and slowly de-
scended. AS it moved down into the
light l saw that had hold of another
wire, which had overlooked before. /
let the elevator run until the lower
floor was reached, forgetting all else
in my desire to get into the air.
GAS | stepped off a small boy, who
had seen me 90 up, looked at me in as
constituent and exclaimed:
"'Say, mister, are you the same man
that went up few minutes ago?"
Il thought it must have been half
hour, but answered, Yes
Did you go up to buy wigP" he
asked.
mo said l, 'why?'
"'Cause yer had black hair when yer
started, and now it's white.
Il rushed to a convenient glass and
grabbed my hat from my head. The
boy was right, gentlemen; my hair was
as white rs you see it now, turned from
fright in the two short minutes was in
the elevator.
Fact, gentlemen, fact, My parents
did not know me when | got home,
and | had to show several birthmarks
before | could convince them that
was their son. Fact, gentlemen"
And the gentlemen looked at him,
wondering whether to call him a liar
or a very unfortunate man.-Bost0n

Quoted himself ina way to secure the respect
Of those with whom he became acquainted.
He represented himself as unmarried and
recently has been paying considerable atten-
tion to young lady living in another part of
the town. Some weeks ago Abbott went to
Massachusetts on visit and when he re-
turned he brought with him little girl about
four years of age. Abbott said the child was
daughter of his brother and that he had
brought her to Maine for visit.
Last Saturday Mr.. Smith, the Deering con-
stable received letter signed by Mrs Ger
trude b. Abbott, 1903 Summer street, Lynn,
Mass. TheIwriter apparently knew all about
the circumstances of Eugene o. Abbott's
life in Deering, and stated that she wrote to
let the Deering people know that she is Alb
bolts wife. She said that she should come
to Deering in about two weeks. Abbott
heard that this letter had been received and
on Sunday he departed. taking the child with
him. He said that he was going to Lynn
and admitted to Mr.. Amos Abbott that it is
true that the writer of the letter received by
Mr.. Smith is Mrs. Eugene Abbott. The af-
fair has caused considerable establishment in
Deering where Abbott was thought to be
respectable young man.
